A Skull That Tells a Sad story,
[Chieago Inter.Ocean.l

IChltagO Ihter-Ucean.I
A skull of a woodchucl1 was recently
found in PIKE County, Ind, that told tale
OF suffering when the animal was alive.
The right upper incisor grew little to
one side, and SO did not meet its fellow Of
the lower jaw. 1t continued to grow down,
however, until, striking the bone Of the
lower jaw, 1t was DETECTED upward and
backward to the roof of the mouth, max.
ing q complete circle an inch in diameter.
The advancing point pressed against the
point of the skull, which was absorbed be-
fore IL by the pressure until the point
grew clear through the jaw and reap
peared again in the mouth, starting upon
its second spiral.

lection Of Skeletons.
"Baron Henickstein was a banker in
Vienna, TO whom ! had letter Of intro
duction, said q lady TO correspondent of
the Cleveland Leader. "With some friends
j called upon him. He received US cor
daily. When our business was compiet-
cd the Baron invited us to visit his pri-
vate museum, which hlled an upper aoor
Of the bank building 1t had taken the
noble banker somu Atty years 10 form
this collection of rare and valuable an
tiquities. After making ths tour Of
the long hall the Baron drew
from his pocket massive
iron key and unlocking the door at one end
beckoned US to follow him into dimly
lighted room. On entering we saw ranged
about Il series Of tall and narrow ma
hogany wardrobes, the doors Of which our
host rapidly threw open, disclosing to our
astonished gaze a grim and ghastly human
skeleton in each.
"Ladies,' said this extraordinary man,
let me introduce you 10 this select circle OF
my intimate friends-friends, ladies', In
whom l confide all, and who reveal
nothing. Here is my beautiful Etalka,
the love Of my youth, who cast aside her
flesh half century ago and is still true to
me. This is all that remains to me of old
Heinrich, the faithful cashier for forty
years of my father ami myself. Enter and
fear nothingp And as much afraid
Of refusing as to obey we pnssei the
box and found ourselves standing in a
close, ccll-like apartment hung with
heavy black draperies, and lavishly orna-
mented with armorial bearings and nu-
merous deaths heads and crossbones.
Nearly filing the place was huge casket
Or coflin of ebony, lined Wits black velvet
and arranged to receive body; and on
the silver-plate attached to the lid was In
scrbed the Barons name and title, with a
blank space left for his age and date Of
death. To the foot of the coffin was at
tached a parchment scroll, containing in
structions for the Baron's funeral, in
which, among other supulations, he d.
rected that the horses attached to the
hearse should be driven on a fast trot TO q
tune he had nis music-box play for u.s."

Warning the Pedestrians Away.

In Boston the other day bur1y
Hibernian was at work on roof remov-
ing ice from gutter, His position was
dangerous one, but this did not seem TO
give him so much uneasiness as did the
temerity Of pedestrians who persisted in
passing below close to the builiing. The
warnings of the men who were guarding
the dangerous section Of sidewalk were
repeatedly disregarded, and the Irishman,
at length becoming thoroughly exasper-
ated at this continued display of foolhardi-
ness, shouted from his lofty perch: "lf

gorra, yen wish yed kept out o. that"

THREE LITTLE WORDS.

Three little words were all he said;
Three little words, but they turned the head
or q certain maid. who imagined all
Lies sweetness lay In that sentence small.
Never did language hold such bliss;
Never was song so sweet rs this
That rang through her heart 30 merrily
Over and over It's three times three.
She saw the letters wherever she went;
To dreams and duties their glow they lent,
And sweeter than any song OF birds
Was the song made up Of three little words.
Three little words Of wondrous power
Changed the world In u single hourl
Three little words, OF letters eight,
All In moment fixed her fate
Clear as the tones OF q silver bell
Into her ear the message fell,
Filling her heart with strange content
And echoing every where she went.
Oh twas no wonder her eyes shone bright
Oh, twas no wonder her heart was light,
And her Joy SO great for those words so few
Those three little words were-I loDe you!

The community was startled Tues
day morning by the announcement
that Mother Cunningham had died.
She was performing her usual duties
about the house in the forenoon, and
at one o'clock passed peacefully and
painlessly away. She was conscious of
the near approach of death and gave
such instructions as she desired carried
out at her burial. The sermon was
preached at the house, and her remains
were laid to rest beside those of her
husband in the Linden cemetery. She
was IS years of age, and was held in
high esteem by all who knew her.
She has led devout christian life for
many years, and death had no pangs
OF terrors for her; all was hope and
brightness for the future. She leaves
five sons and three daughters to mourn
her loss, all of whom have the sympathy
of the entire community.

Here is another queer advertisement
from The Washington Evening Star of
Thursday:
I WILL give anyone SIS month that will get
me place iu any of the departments at 500 n
month, Address box &C. Star office.
Propositions of this character appear
in the Washington papers every day or
two. 1t is reform administration.
The above which has answered as a
sort of ready made editorial for numer-
GUS republican organs, was republished
in The Tribune as an original produc-
ton. Certainly while the republicans
were in power il Washington there
was no occasion to advertise for any
thing. The rule was to take anything
and everything rs often as offered, and
a great deal that was not offered at all.
The going about of Diogones with a
lantern looking an honest man did not
speak well for the men of his time
but the fact that the professional spoils
hunter at Washington resort to an adj
yertisement in a great daily newspaper
in vain attempt to find solitary
dishonest democrat is far from retlec-
ton upon the present administration.

At the recent session of the legis-
lature law was passed providing for
the protection of fish in the streams.
Under this law the state is divided
into four districts, and the governor
is authorized to appoint four wardens,
whose duty it shall be to see that the
fish laws are observed For these four
places Governor Rusk has already re-
ceived more than twelve hundred APP
plications for appointment, and it is
thought that many more straight-out
republicans are yet to hear from. This
record for Office seeking throws the
hungry democracy far in the shade.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press of We'd
nesday contained a very labored leader
which after praising Mr.. Blaine to the
skies concludes that the idol of it's heart
cannot again be the republican party
candidate for the president because
"the light next year must be made to
win" The party leaders will doubtless
adhere to the policy advocated by The
Pioneer Press and attempt to nomin-
ate candidate who can win; but it
may be long time before they will
find man who can make as good Il
race as Mr. Blame did in the memor-
able year of 1884. The st. Paul organ
concludes its wa il as follows:
alt is a source of sorrow and regret
to the party as well as to individuals,
to believe that its favored leader may
never become the nations ruler. But
the fight of next year must be made to
win The leader must be a man to re-
ceive every Republican vote. In the
list of candidates it now seems prob
able that the Dame of Mr. Blaine, by
his own desire, will not find a place"

The New Freight Rates on Zine Ore.

The Chicago Inter Ocean of Monday,
May ,, published the following as a
special telegram:
GALENA, ILL.,, May 1.-The rates in
consin to La Sale, H., the principal
market for this section, having been
neatly doubled since TIE adoption of
the interstate commerce law, a move
ment is on foot to establish smelling
works either at ShullSburg or at Min
eral Point, rs it is believed the ore can
not be successfully mined and shipped
at the present advanced rates in
freights. The increase in rates does
not apply to the Illinois Central ship
ments from this city, the schedule re-
manning the same as before the ador-
ton of the interstate commerce law.
The report that the new law has
caused large increase in the rates
for shipping zinc ore has also been
published in one or more newspapers in
Southwestern Wisconsin, and has be-
come quite current; but for such re-
port there is no foundation in fact.
The new tariff increases the rates on
zinc ore to La Sale something less
than fifty cents per ton, while it lowers
the rate to ST. Louis to about the same
extent that the rate to La Sale is in
creased. The Mineral Point Zine Co.
however, buys the great bulk of the
zinc ore mined in Southwestern Wis
consin, and the rates to this city are
not materially changed by the new
tariff. 1t will therefore be seen that
the new law will not greatly disturb
the zinc industry of this section, not
to such an extent certainly as is indi-
Gated in the above dispatch. The
prospect of the establishment of smelt-
ing works at Mineral Point or ShuIls-
burg doubtless only exists in the fertile
brain of the correspondent of the In
teri Ocean. But if it could be demon
strated that such works could be estab-
lished and operated at profit Mineral
Point weuld doubtless try and furnish
the works.
